It became a real race to see what would exhaust Mark first:
Work at IBM with so many cohorts laid off
Church with new minister who is internet saavy now actually interested in getting some of the web and multimedia stuff to be done
Home rebuilding projects and prep for the end of year holidays
Of course for the end-of-year, instead of just pulling together some simple card to send to family and friends, what did M embark on?
Design of a multimedia video
Acquire new equipment including an Open Source Digital Video Recorder (the Neuros OSD), one each for church and home use
Several devices to display MP4 (and the Micro$oft knockoff ASF and WMV) formatted videos, such as:
iPod (Larissas Nano 1G and now Nano 3G
Sansa e260 (Vera's MP3/WMA/WMV player)
Disney Mix/Match cheap WMA/WMV player
Begin work on creating "Ken Burns" style audio overlaid on photos
Finally as the day for departure to visit the Maryland relatives grew near, realize that the online Google docs version of PowerPoint was the best we were going to do!
So we will note here and on the main 2008/2009 Holiday page when there is something to view!
